Notes

This file includes current results for estimated regional aggregates of all variables
See the file “Methodology to produce UNODC homicide data series (data version)” for the latest description of the methodology. This file can be found at the following folder: G:2_Crime8_HomicideDataUpdate 2018
Each tab corresponds to the result of a different indicator of homicides
Results for each indicator include
- Diagnostics of data availability for that indicator;
- Results of country-level estimates;
- Estimate’s Coverage;
- Results of region aggregates;
- Results of subregion aggregates;
As this file has been produced using code, it is relatively simple to update as new data becomes available

Total Homicide Count

Objective:

Calculate the homicide trend of the world, of each of the world’s regions, and of each subregion

Methodological Issue: Missing Data

Data for many years within countries is often missing
The number of countries with available data varies considerably by year
Using a different sample of countries to calculate aggregate rates would results in highly biased trends
Only 34 countries have a complete series of homicide data for between 1990 and 2016
Countries with complete series: Armenia, Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Guyana, Ireland, Jamaica, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania, Mexico, Norway, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Saint Lucia, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United States of America
One solution is to increase the number of countries with complete series by estimating homicide counts for missing years

Country Estimates

Estimation Strategy: Moving Average:

Missing years of each country are estimated using a Exponentially Weighted Moving average (k=100)
For each individual country, the homicide rate of missing years is replaced by the average homicide rate of other years in that countries’ series
The impact of each year on the average is exponentially weighted by the time-difference between that year and the estimate
The following is a selection of ilustrative countries

Bahamas

Egypt

Honduras

Indonesia

Myanmar

Republic of Korea

Russian Federation

Saudi Arabia

South Sudan

United Republic of Tanzania

Ranges of Confidence

Objective:

Generate ranges around estimated homicide trends

Methodological Issue: Communicate Uncertainty

There is no clear way to estimate error that is methodologically sound
Some solutions lack in simplicity and parsimony (i.e. bootstrapping, assume randomness)
Observed countries are not a random sample from all countries
We do not have information about the error structure of our our observed data
The goal is to communicate uncertainty about our homicide values, rather than to offer confidence intervals that are methodologically precise.

Estimation Strategy: Generate Ranges for Countries and Years Without Data

For Countries with 0 years of data: Ranges were defined by their subregion’s minimum and maximum homicide rate
For Countries with 1 or more years of data: Ranges corresponded to + or - 5% of estimated rate for each missing year until a observation
In addition, added the average difference, by region, between Criminal Justice and Public Health homicide rates to the ranges of all countries in the region
Only for country/years with data available for both Criminal Justice and Public Health
Criminal Justice data is currently represented by the CTS (2.4 or 1.2.1)
Public Health data is currently represented by the WHO Mortality Database (MD_2.4N)
Country/Years with the difference greater than 50% were considered as outliers and removed from the average. This rule excluded 181 cases out of a sample of 600.

Description:

The 5% corresponds to the average global yearly change in homicide rate

Victims by Mechanism of Killing

Objective:

Calculate Homicide Trends by Mechanism of Killing for the World, for each Region, and for each Subregion

Methodological Issues

Missing data, the same as for the total homicide, but at a greater proportion
In addition, the sample of countries with data by mechanism is different from the sample with data for total homicide victims
For each aggreagation, we need to maintain the coherence between the homicide rate by mechanism, and the total homicide rate
Therefore, estimates should be based on the ratio (i.e. percent of homicides committed by firearm), as opposed to absolute rates
The rates can be obtained at a second moment, by applying the estimated ratio to the total estimated homicide for each aggregation (World, Region, and Subregion)
This methodology requires that only countries with data on all mechanisms be included in the sample. Considering a country with data for one individual mechanism unjustifiably increases the relative participation of that mechanism in relation to others
Dropped entities because of partial data on mechanism disaggregation (21): Albania, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cabo Verde, Egypt, Eswatini, India, Mongolia, Myanmar, Namibia, Nicaragua, Peru, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, South Africa, Sweden, Uganda, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Country Estimates

Estimation Strategy: Moving Average:

Description:

An adaptation from the same strategy as used for the total number of victims
1. For each country, the ratio (percent participation of each mechanism in relation to all other mechanism) of missing years is estimated using a Exponentially Weighted Moving average (k=100)
The impact of each year on the average is exponentially weighted by the time-difference between that year and the estimate
Excluding data for WHO Estimates
1. Estimated ratios are then applied to the total homicide count to calculate counts and rates by country
1. Estimated counts are summed to the level of the aggregation (World, Regions, or Subregions)
1. And then adjusted to match the total estimated homicide of the same aggregation
